NGL, "yelp for toilets" actually made me lol.
Hannity: He and his social media team are busy trying to mock President Trump by posting messages in all caps. He is also attacking Fox News hosts. He's trying to bait conservatives into social media fights. He's referred to Tomi Lahren’s account as “yelp for toilets”

A few weeks ago I hear a woman at the farmer's market state that she didn't have the right "vestibule" to carry her purchases, and I think about that a lot...

18F, the federal government’s technology shop, was demolished by Musk’s team shortly after midnight. It was a cost-recoverable org, charging agencies for their expertise, using a consulting model. Its cost to government was negligible, its benefits huge. My team there once saved DoD $500 billion.

This is what I think of as a specific kind of ignorance that heavily affects young white guys who work in tech. It says “i don’t know about this, so I assume no one else does either.” It’s new to them, so it must be new to everybody!

People forget that Facebook was born because Zuck and co couldn't get women to talk to them, so found a way to get them to willingly post photos of themselves so they could have access.

And then they ask "who doesn't he have a stronger moral stance?"

Turns out that "A Christmas Carol" was wrong...
Finding out that people hate you when you die doesn't make rich people repent...it makes them buy a newspaper/TV station/social media platform to try and gaslight the world into thinking they are awesome.

I'm glad people are finally figuring out that many "news" organizations can't be trusted...but it was literally the plot of a Bond movie 27 years ago!

Everyone posting their Spotify Wrapped, and mine's basically "You stopped using Spotify this year!"

Eventually, this trend of mothers being brought in to defend their sons is going to be spun by the NYT as the GOP increasing the representation of women in politics.

You hear a lot more about people stealing a stick of deodorant from a drug store than corporations stealing millions from their workers
Multiple Burger King and Popeyes franchises across Massachusetts has been hit with over $2 million in fines for violating child labor law.

Nearly 2,000 workers under age 18 were being paid late, paid less than minimum wage, or were not paid at all.

Well, pies are done for tomorrow...will post pictures then, as I'm now too lazy to get them together for a pic.

I don't do much pie the rest of the year, but something about Thanksgiving makes them more special. (It's probably the nostalgia, but that's fine too!)

I feel like there's a lot of people out there who think Trump is issuing a 25% coupon off everything from Mexico, that Mexico is paying for.
